Header-Only Library Template

This repository hosts a template to be used as a starting point for creating header-only libraries in C++. The overall project layout is inspired by the Boost project (https://github.com/boostorg/boost), and uses a Docker Dev Container with VSCode.

Prerequisites

The following instructions assume that Docker, VSCode and Git are installed on the host computer. The VSCode extension Remote Development (ms-vscode-remote.vscode-remote-extensionpack) is required to open the project in a Dev Container.

Setting Up The Development Environment

1. Clone the repository onto the host computer with the following command:

    git clone https://github.com/hayesHowYaDoin/cpp_header_template.git
   

2. Open the folder in VSCode. In the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P), execute the command "Dev Containers: Open Folder In Container..."

And... that's it!
